Help me predict SS

Hey guys I got 92/100 for my Unit 3 SACS in Bio with the number 1 rank.
What SS would I get if I got a B, B+ and an A on the exam assuming that I kept this up for the entire year. And howmany marks can I afford to lose to get a B, B+ and an A on an exam?

How come the scores are out of 150? I thought there were only 75 marks in the exam.

i'm not sure, but it's probably because 150 is 33% of the total required to calculate your study score

I'm aiming for a B+ to an A. My original SAC average was 96% but the teacher moderated everyones SAC's scores.

In most subjects the exams are marked twice, so the score is doubled because it's just adding two people's marks together
But as the maths/science subjects are not as subjective (you're either right or wrong), they are usually marked by just one person and then doubled. =]



Also you have to keep in mind the quality of the exam when looking at those. Whenever the first year of the new biol study design was (2006 I think, I don't care I didn't do biol :P), everyone did terrible in the exam

Exam marks can't change SAC ranking right? So what if you were top of the class in SACS but you got a lower than one of your cohorts? What would happen?

You sac mark would be moderated to get the top exam mark.
But the result you get on the exam you will keep regardless how bad it is.

Yes, it was 2006 :)

...In Bio I got 95/100 for Unit 3 SACs and the #1 ranking...could I get away with a mid 40s SS with a low-range A+ on either exam? Or would it have to be super high A+s on both?

For bio in 2007 at least two A+'s and an A (one of the A+'s on the first exam, not so sure about the other two) end me up with a 40. While I do know someone who got three A+'s and a 39. Basically i think three A+'s (over 80 on both exams and reasonably sacs) should get you a 40
hope that helps
